Worlds Engine
Worlds Engine is a cross-platform custom game engine written in C++20 using Vulkan. It began as a Minecraft clone to learn Vulkan and C++ since school was closed due to the Covid pandemic. I decided to turn it into a full game engine around a month after starting after working on a project in Unity and getting frustrated with a few issues and becoming more interested in graphics programming. The source code can be found here.
Features
- Hotloaded C#, even during gameplay
- Forward+ renderer using Vulkan for scenes with many lights
- High performance, achieving 120fps at 2400x2700 per-eye on an RX 5700XT
- Post-process bloom, chromatic aberration and vignette, with cylindrical distortion for UI
- PhysX integration for physics, Recast+Detour for navigation, FMOD+Steam Audio for sound and RmlUi for UI
- A full editor with an asset pipeline
- Fast startup times - around 2 seconds from launch to ready-to-edit
- Supports Windows, Linux and Android (including Quest 2)
Ronde
A bullet hell toolkit for Unity written in C#. Pools bullets and spawns them according to a pattern scriptable object.
The code was jointly written between myself and Rem S. from 4649soft. You can find it on GitHub here.
Boneworks Multiplayer
A mod for the VR game Boneworks by Stress Level Zero that added multiplayer. Written in C# using MelonLoader and Steam networking. Source is available on GitHub. I wrote the vast majority of the mod, including core networking systems and player synchronisation, with Maranara being responsible for synchronising player guns and ZCubed for some code reorganisation.

or link to the mod🙂
Halogen Neo
Halogen Neo was my somewhat shortlived second attempt at making a game engine. It initially started as an experiment with attempting to abstract over OpenGL and D3D11, but I soon dropped GL to focus on the DirectX backend.
Features
- D3D11 forward renderer with a shadow atlasing system and basic SSAO
- Custom audio mixer with Steam Audio support
- Bullet physics integration
- Basic XML UI system built atop ImGui drawlists with added SDF text rendering support
